Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 200g Plant-Based Chocolate
  • 100ml Plant-Based Cream
  • 3 tbsp Maple Syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp Natural Gelling Agent

Spices & Flavorings

  • 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Additional Ingredients

  • 50g Crushed Gingerbread Cookies (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ginger-Spice Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the grated fresh ginger with ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and apple cider vinegar. This helps release the spices’ aromas for an authentic gingerbread flavor.
  2. Melt the Plant-Based Chocolate and Cream: Gently melt the plant-based chocolate together with the plant-based cream using a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, stirring frequently to get a smooth and glossy mixture without overheating.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Slowly add the ginger-spice mixture and maple syrup into the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Fold in the crushed plant-based gingerbread cookies to add texture and body.
  4. Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the mixture and whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution, creating the desired chewy consistency.
  5. Chill and Shape: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate until firm enough to handle, about 1-2 hours. Once set, scoop small portions and roll into smooth balls using your palms.
  6. Final Touches: Optionally, roll the truffles in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts for additional texture and flavor. Return to the refrigerator for a final chill before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Keep the melted chocolate temperature low to prevent graininess.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly before shaping to avoid cracking.
  • Experiment with coatings to add new textures and flavors.
  • Keep hands cool while rolling truffles to maintain smooth surfaces.
